Problems with steroid use has put all professional sports leagues on high alert, even the NBA, which is known for its cavalier approach to testing. That could change soon, though, future NBA commissioner Adam Silver said to the New York Post.

“One of the changes that we know we’ll be making to our current drug testing is the addition of HGH testing, which requires taking blood from the players,” NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver told The Post last week. “We want to make sure, on behalf of our players, as well, that’s it’s done in the proper way, and that we understand what are the appropriate baselines for a natural substance, like HGH, so we can detect where there are aberrations. That is something we’re very focused on.”

While reports pointed to the NBA as one of multiple leagues involved with Biogensis, Silver, who has monitored the case for its duration, said he has no evidence that there are NBA players linked to the clinic.

“We’ve been actively working to understand the situation and to the extent possible to learn what is being uncovered by MLB’s investigation,” Silver said. “We are not aware of any involvement by NBA players.”

The NBA is working on adding HGH testing, but it currently has a testing process where players are subject to six random tests per year, four of which are during the season and two in the offseason. Most of the stars, however, go through Olympic-style testing as part of their participation with Team USA.

No matters on HGH testing are expected to be decided until the NBPA has an executive director to replace outsted Billy Hunter. For the moment, the league has no one to engage on the matter. Silver the The Post that all involved want the game to be played on an even plain, though.

“It’s why, even in the collective bargaining agreement, this was not a point of contention,” Silver said. “Both for the player representatives and the owners who participated, this is an issue where it is in everybody’s interest to have state-of-the-art drug testing, and to have a level playing field for all players, because we recognize it’s not fair for a player to believe that in order to compete, and in order to keep his job, he has to do something that one could potentially harm his body and number two could potentially get him in trouble.”
